The Gucci Cub3d trainer proves that innovation and intention can walk together. It’s not just the future-facing silhouette or sculpted sole—it’s how Gucci reimagines luxury with Demetra, a bio-based material that balances design and sustainability. With a 3D Interlocking G underfoot, this sneaker is thinking several steps ahead.

This new iteration of Terre d’Hermès takes a richer, more grounded turn. The deep red-brown lacquered bottle and matte black cap evoke something elemental, without straying from the house’s signature restraint. Designed by Philippe Mouquet, it’s a study in quiet intensity.

SKULL UMBRELLA, ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

A nod to the gothic codes at the heart of the house, this Alexander McQueen umbrella turns function into theatre. The gold-finish skull handle adds just the right dose of edge — sculptural and unmistakably McQueen.

Rendered in brilliant and rose-cut diamonds, the brooch favours form and line over spectacle. It catches light, yes, but more importantly, it holds presence. Style aside, it holds its own.

SUNGLASSES, CLASH DE CARTIER

These sunglasses play with contradiction. The frames are rimless in structure yet carry undeniable presence. Cartier offsets the minimalist silhouette through mobile picot studs that interrupt the geometry with precise tension. It is a quiet disruption, where movement adds weight and every detail feels intentional.

ORB BUCKLE BELT IN BLACK, VIVIENNE WESTWOOD FROM THE COLLECTIVE

There is restraint and then there is intention. Vivienne Westwood’s Construct belt favours the latter, with a slim black leather strap and just enough detail to hold its own. The gold Orb buckle, instantly recognisable, draws the eye without forcing it. It is also a reminder that legacy often lives in the smallest silhouette.
